The Bits and Bobs:

1 cup unsalted butter, room temp (2 sticks)

1 tsp salt

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 tsp vanilla

2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips

The How-Tos:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, both sugars, salt, and applesauce. The mix should be light in color and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and mix until combined. Add in the flour and and beat until almost completely mixed in, then add the chocolate chips and mix for a minute longer until the flour is incorporated and the chocolate is evenly disbursed.
